Chapter 1204: Acceptance of the Test

Ye Liuyun also had no choice.

Whether they cease attack or surrender, as long as the Rift Heaven Sect resists, they will be the ones to suffer.

The Demon Cultivator soldiers' individual strength is far inferior to these Martial Cultivators. If things go wrong, they could be completely cut down by the enemy.

He also dares not risk the soldiers' lives. On the battlefield, hesitation and mercy are grave taboos.

And the strong ones of the Rift Heaven Sect, such as Lin Haoran, upon seeing that Ye Liuyun would not even accept surrender, instead prepared to rebel in bitter anger.

"When the Mountain‑Guarding Great Formation is broken, the few of us with the highest realms will rush out and kill Ye Liuyun outright!"

"Indeed, their realms are low, and those warships cannot stop us all. As long as one of us kills Ye Liuyun, it will count as avenging the sect!"

Several Rift Heaven Sect strongmen of the first and second Earth Sovereign tiers readied themselves.

The Mountain‑Guarding Great Formation would be breached in less than half an hour under the onslaught of so many warships.

As for the other disciples, they could no longer worry about them. Under the barrage of so many warships, it was obvious that most would not survive.

As the warships hammered, the moment the Rift Heaven Sect's battle formation was breached, six Earth Sovereign‑realm strongmen leapt into the air, lunging at Ye Liuyun.

They hadn't noticed that a little girl in a blue dress had appeared beside Ye Liuyun. Their focus was locked directly on him.

Qin Peng had anticipated this, so once the Mountain‑Guarding Great Formation fell, the warships instantly weaved a fire‑net to guard against any strong ones breaking out for a surprise attack.

Thus, of those six Earth Sovereign‑realm strongmen, four were intercepted by warships. The remaining two, shielded briefly by a divine artifact, seized the chance and charged forward.

The two rushed forward, instantly communicating via Divine Sense, coordinating their roles—one heading for Ye Liuyun, the other for Qin Peng.

The Martial Cultivator who surged toward Qin Peng had his neck slashed from afar, and his core pill was extracted.

The Martial Cultivator who charged at Ye Liuyun was blocked by the little blue ice, and a palm of Ice Power froze him into an ice statue.

Later, the ice statue was shattered, and the core pill became loot for the little blue ice.

The subsequent battle became much simpler; after several rounds of warship bombardment, the Rift Heaven Sect collapsed entirely.

The remaining cleanup of the battlefield was left to the Monster Beasts and ferocious beasts by Ye Liuyun.

First, to guard against hidden masters; second, to let them stock up on food and harvest core pills as cultivation resources.

"Ha ha, Prince, with our current strength we could take on any sect!" Qin Peng laughed.

"If the Emperor Xia hears you say that, he'll probably start scheming against me again!" Ye Liuyun warned Qin Peng not to cause trouble.

"Hehe! I'm just telling you that; out there I wouldn't dare brag!" Qin Peng chuckled apologetically.

Ye Liuyun nodded. He knew Qin Peng was cautious outwardly, and was merely giving him a reminder.

"After the battle, take the Metal Puppet and the army back! I still need to return to the Qian Long Academy."

After Ye Liuyun and the Monster Beasts finished cleaning the battlefield, they split the loot, giving half to Qin Peng to replenish the army's supplies.

The wealth of the two sects was considerable, enough for Qin Peng to restock many resources.

Then Ye Liuyun parted ways with Qin Peng, used the Teleportation Array, and returned directly to the Qian Long Academy.

He didn't forget to inform Li Qingyun that the matter was resolved.

"Not bad, not bad, you've got the bearing of a great general. You can now cultivate in peace, right? Hurry and cultivate until you reach the Ninth Creation Tier, then come find me to undergo the test for entering the Qian Long Pool!"

Li Qingyun praised Ye Liuyun once, then immediately returned to cultivation.

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun replied, and promptly went back to his quarters to focus on cultivation.

He now has abundant resources: Xuan Kong Shi, a pressure Formation Plate, and an additional Secret Realm suitable for combat. Not breaking through would feel like a waste of all these resources.

In the following period, Ye Liuyun led those around him to improve together, continuously cultivating and entering the Secret Realm for battles. He paid almost no attention to anything else.

After a month outside and roughly a year of Xuan Kong Shi, Ye Liuyun's realm had directly risen to the Ninth Creation Tier Mid Stage.

His Mysterious Origin was compressed by Ye Liuyun into a highly condensed state.

Spatial Power, Heaven and Earth Power, and the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique all saw great enhancement.

His cultivation has always been like this; not merely to break realms, but chiefly to strengthen his power.

Only then did Ye Liuyun take Xia Tianqiong and Ling Shuang out for some fresh air.

They first went to the Hall of Merit to exchange points.

Ye Liuyun's last capture and killing of many disruptive Demon Cultivators earned him a large amount of points.

Ye Liuyun used those points to exchange many cultivation resources that Xia Tianqiong and Ling Shuang needed. The two, upon seeing Ye Liuyun's exchange, felt both grateful and delighted.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun took them to see Li Qingyun to inquire about the Qian Long Pool mission.

"Huh? Already at the Ninth Creation Tier? Or the Ninth Creation Tier Mid Stage?"

Li Qingyun was always amazed whenever he saw Ye Liuyun's realm rise.

Ye Liuyun's breakthroughs were simply too fast.

The last time he saw Ye Liuyun, he was only at the Eighth Creation Tier Early Stage; in just over a month, Ye Liuyun's realm advanced another level—anyone would be astonished.

And it wasn't only Ye Liuyun; Xia Tianqiong's and Xia Lingshuang's realms also rose.

Xia Tianqiong is now Earth Sovereign Second Tier, and Xia Lingshuang is at the Fourth Creation Tier. Moreover, during this period they focused on combat training; a heroic aura now shines in their brows, making them look markedly different from before.

Thus Li Qingyun was again astonished upon seeing them.

"During this time we went somewhere and had some strange encounters!"

Ye Liuyun could only make up an excuse and brushed it off.

"Your luck is just too good!" Li Qingyun sighed, without probing further, merely thinking Ye Liuyun's luck was extraordinary.

"Let me tell you about this test of yours!"

Li Qingyun began to discuss the matter seriously with Ye Liuyun.

"This time you'll enter a highly dangerous Secret Realm to kill an Evil Dragon inside! That Secret Realm hasn't been entered for many years, and no one knows the Dragon's exact level."

Li Qingyun proceeded to explain.

"Moreover, the Secret Realm is vast, and its dangers are numerous! You must obtain the Evil Dragon's core pill to earn the right to re‑enter the Qian Long Pool!"

After finishing, he added, "Sixteen people have applied for the same test before you and all failed. So you should prepare yourself mentally before you go."

Li Qingyun wasn't at all worried that Ye Liuyun wouldn't dare to accept the challenge.

Furthermore, in his opinion, if Ye Liuyun also failed to complete the mission, then the mission could be altered.
